AN135-Rev A0-Quantitative-Imaging-Living-Biological-Samples-PeakForceQNM-(HiRes).pdf This article summarizes work that has conducted over the past year on living (and thus soft) samples by using Peak Force QNM. It focuses on silicified organisms, bacteria, and eukaryiotic cells. The Note also proposes a range of probes that can be used to address these

It is now well established that measuring ex vivo the mechanical properties of living cells can be a good indicator of the health of the organism from which they were extracted. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful investigation and diagnostic tool, especially in force mode. Nevertheless, force spectroscopy suffers from several limitations, including
